    Indirect referencing another sheet through data validation

    Hi guys, excuse the thread title!

    Essentially what I need to do is do an offset from cell D5 on sheet 2 to cell F5 on sheet 1.

    The kicker is I'm doing this in the Data --> Validation --> Source area and it won't let me select a cell on a seperate sheet.

    Any ideas?

    If you give that cell a name (through Insert|Name|Define... or the Name Box next to the formula bar), then you can reference that named cell...
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
